Book Description

5 Jan 2012

Ever since Taney was four she's known she could see things before they happened. She also knows that she must keep her gift a secret - at all costs. Teased and isolated by the local children for being strange, as Taney grows older, she has more and more questions. Why is her father so terrified of her gift? What happened to her mother?

Then she meets the mysterious Billy, an outsider just as she is. Charming and attentive, Billy is the first person with whom Taney can simply be herself; with whom she can share her strange burden, and begin, instead, to feel proud of her ability.

But then the visions come - lone girls attacked as they walk home at night. And as Billy begins to withdraw further into himself, Taney must ask herself who to trust - her only friend, or the visions that torment her dreams...

Product Description

Review

The sensory encompassing descriptions brought the historical setting to vivid life, as well as the sense of class divide and poverty. (We Love This Book 20120105)

Dark Warning has a beautiful sense of time and place and is rich in detail about Irish history and cultural tradition. The prose is just gorgeous, with lyrical descriptions and vivid, energetic dialogue. The characterisation is fantastic, too. Taney herself is wonderfully drawn, fearful of the gift she doesn't fully understand, lonely as only a motherless child can be, but with a central core of courage and resolve. (The Book Bag 20120105)

Taney's fresh, colloquial voice - determined, self-aware, often terrified by her visions - shines through this gripping historical novel, vividly portraying the jostling elegance and poverty of 18th-century Dublin. (Booktrust 20120105)

This is an engaging and engrossing story which is given a lilting momentum by the dialect used in both narrative and dialogue. (BOOKS FOR KEEPS 20120101)

This novel about the 19th Century life in Dublin rewards the reader with fascinating historical insight and is an original twist on the paranormal trend. (Paddy O'Doherty IRISH INDEPENDENT 20120111)

a gripping historical thriller (School Librarian Magazine 20120701)

Book Description

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok 9 Mar 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I liked this book but not enough to give it any more than 3 stars, I just seemed to think it was abit predictable and didnt really like the end. Taney gets visions before something happens, her family dont like it and she has some issues with them. She does get picked on off other children but a boy befriends her and she seems to depend on seeing him. I think her friend used her and wasnt genuine, then her visions start getting worse.
I thought the idea of the book was good, I liked the character and her family, I just feel there could have been more to the story. I was quite lookng forward to reading this book because it seemed different but maybe I expected abit too much or it wasnt for me so thats why Im dissapointed.
